One of the mission myths from my mission involved the cream of wheat-type stuff my mission president recommended we eat for breakfast. The story goes that some sister missionaries found a huge bag of it for SUPER SUPER cheap and began eating it every morning. And then began packing on extra weight like crazy. It turned out that what they'd gotten was actually chicken feed, used for fattening up chickens.

I don't know if it's true or not, but it was how I justified splurging on real cereal for breakfast every morning!
